As a newly promoted manager at San Francisco startup SPRQPoint, Zoey must build team spirit, placate a demanding boss,  and navigate office relationships—all while people break into song and dance around her, expressing their innermost thoughts and desires. Whether you’re stepping into a leadership role for the first time, stepping up into a new role, or managing a new leader, you’ll learn:
- How to transition from a peer- to leader- relationship with former colleagues (2:47)
- Where to find training and coaching for leaders (16:10)
- How to manage a first-time manager (20:35)
- How to retain great talent on your team (31:40)
- How to come back from a big, public mistake (34:24)
- Ways to identify leadership potential (42:36)

Managing First-Time Managers from Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist

We're members of NOBL, an organizational design collective that helps leaders align company culture to strategy. Every month, we take a break from helping real organizations change to discuss fictional leaders and organizations from movies and TV: What works? What doesn’t? And most importantly, we talk about the simple tools they (and you, our listeners) can implement to make the workplace better.
